I can’t wait to see some division games so we know what the we really have in this team! Obviously we got better, but it looks like the rest of the division did too….soooo we could easily still be the worst team in the division if you look at the records. Still….I can’t help but feel like we can beat the KC and SD. I don’t know about Denver. They look like they are out to make a point this year…and I pride myself on being a realist. I just hope we play them tough.

I think the AFC West looks 100% compelling for the first time in ages. But I wouldn’t bet a single dollar on any divisional games. They’re just TOO hard to call. Sure, Denver has been going like crazy, but honestly, look who they have played. The Ravens are NOT the same Ravens which won the SuperBowl, and the Giants? They might be the worst team in the league right now.

One thing is for sure. There aren’t going to be any divisional sweeps this year. I’m thinking all four teams might split.

The Jaguars are SO immeasurably bad, that they really should only give the Raiders and Chiefs half-wins for the last two weeks.

But, all that being said, the AFC West went 4-0 this weekend! When was the last time everyone stepped up at the same time?

I’ll bet the 15 teams that lost yesterday disagree with you watering down the Raiders win.

First of all I know the game better than you, the win was against the Jaguars of all teams who have essentially no defense. Making reads against a D that can’t rush you nor stop your wide outs isn’t anything to be proud of, not at all. When he can make good reads under duress against a team that belongs in the NFL like the Broncos then you will have an argument.

50 yards rushing and 126 yards passing against the Jaguars. YAY! A fight for the bottom of the division reaps no rewards.

Mon, 16 Sep 2013 04:07:45 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2210257#comment-2794833I’m excited about a win. I think it is good for a team in the rebuilding process to find some success and get a taste for it, especially if they are playing for contracts and can see some potential for future success. That being said, I was far more impressed with the performance in last weeks loss to the Colts than I was with the win over the Jags today. Forget the haters, but we have to be honest with ourselves as Raider fans too. I was happy with the way the defense played today, but it looks like Branch will be out for a while now. Allen said his ankle looked like it could be a serious injury in the post game press conference, so that’s not good news for us. We are working with a pretty thin roster already. We can’t afford to lose any more ball players…especially early in the season.

The more important issue will be the development of Pryor. The offensive line played surprisingly well today and we ran the ball effectively, but we cannot afford to have that many trips to the red zone and not come away with touchdowns. I fully expect every team on the schedule to be better than the Jags and every week there is more tape on Pryor for everyone to see. We need to execute better and overachieve for a respectable season this year. With Denver coming in next week it will be very difficult to build momentum for even another week. I hope we can and I am very curious to see how Pryor and the defense handle the challenge and respond to championship caliber adversity. It should be a good indication of what we really have to work with right now….although I expect us to play them tougher the second time when we get it together and get some key players healthy again. Go Raiders!! Peace out.

Maybe the Raiders could win more than 1 game this year? Lol, nah…..thats not a reality
But maybe i coulda been had they drafted, say, a certain noodle armed Ginger QB????
Again, nah…..he’s to classy for this laughingstock of an organization!!!
————–
22 years without a playoff win. 45 years of futility overall. Everyone is still laughing at you, clown. As for your rag-armed Ginger QB, he went where he was drafted. That’s how it works. You are not very smart.

Raiders only beat the Jags by 10, with their back-up Henne in and MJD out? At home no less?

Wow, good win, the question is how are you going to mess up the draft with the 2nd overall pick?”

We’ll mess it up the same way your 2-14 chiefs did with the 1st pick last year, got yourself a nice turnstile in eric Fischer.

Saw that dead money stat during game and wondering why Reg Mac didnt cut some of those guys last year….if he had we would be further down the path than now……If you “have a plan” than should have start executing it sooner……………..

“WKMG TV issued the scrolled message on Sunday. It read that NFL policy states the station must carry all Jags away games. The end of the message said: “We apologize for any inconvenience.”
